What is a 5x5 in basketball?

In basketball, a 5x5 refers to a player recording at least 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, and 5 blocks in a single game. Achieving a 5x5 is a rare and impressive feat as it requires a player to contribute across multiple statistical categories. Only a handful of players in NBA history have accomplished a 5x5 in a game.
